Description
Book SynopsisThis is the first
Finnegans Wake guide to focus exclusively on the multiple meanings and voices in Joyce's notoriously intricate diction. Rather than levelling the text it illuminates many layers of puns, wordplay, and portmanteaus, celebrating the
Wake’s central experimental technique.
Trade ReviewA brilliantly collaged snapshot of the variety and wealth of literary criticism, and Joyce studies, today."" - Tony Thwaites, author of
Joycean Temporalities ""Celebrates the multiplicity and sheer rampant excess of Joyce's prodigally polysemous text with seventeen different scholars employing a likewise prodigal range of critical methodologies."" - Patrick O'Neill, author of
Impossible Joyce: Finnegans Wakes ""Each of the scholars involved is at the top of his and her game. Their commitment and excitement about the task at hand is evident on virtually every page. This book makes the
Wake relevant and accessible to a whole new generation of readers."" - Garry Leonard, author of
Advertising and Commodity Culture in Joyce
